I have a Peugeot 206 1.8 Diesel (2001)
I have had the car for 9 months. The following has only happened to me 3 times (twice were almost 6 months ago)
The car drives without any issues, but on 3 occasions whilst driving, the engine suddenly makes a really loud knocking noise. The noise comes from the engine and sounds like a tappet is loose.
All 3 times this noise happens whilst the engine has been running for about 15-20 minutes. If you turn the engine off and start the engine again, it stops and doesn't happen again??? It only makes the noise when you push on the accelerator. Almost sounds like the exhaust has come loose!
Any advise is much appreciated
